These Women Were Tied To An Underwater Shipwreck And Photographed (VIDEO)

Montreal-based photogrpher Benjamin Von Wong and his hand-picked crew of experienced divers did an extraordinary underwater photoshoot 25m under the sea off the coast of Bali. His scene? A sunken shipwreck.

The models in this shoot aren’t just beautiful women in flowing white gowns. They’re experienced freedivers — divers who dive without oxygen tanks — who can hold their breath for three to four minutes at a time.

The idea behind the images, said best by Bored Panda: “Their flowing dresses transform them into the wonderfully beautifully mermaids or nymphs of mythology, who threatened to drag sailors bewitched by their beauty to the cold, dark depths.”
